Feeling like the new girl at school all over again, trying to figure it all out, hoping I don’t make a fool of myself and looking for friendly faces.
I spent a wonderful couple of hours at one of my local libraries, running an Ageing Creatively session using my Little Boxes activity. They came up with boxes I hadn’t thought of to add to my list and some wonderful story ideas. ☺️ open.substack.com/pub/lesleyja...
